<p>Hi, everyone! I'm new to this site and the zine making community in general! I haven't even made a zine yet, though I've thought a lot about what to include. I had a question that may be sort of newbie-ish: do you revise your literary pieces at all before using them in zines or do you just write and whatever happens use that? Or is it mainly, just write and work on it until you're happy?</p>

Or is it mainly, just write and work on it until you're happy?</p>
<p>Also, I've been thinking about what to include in my first zine (which will have personal essays and poetry/flash fiction), but I'm coming up short with ideas for visuals. I'm not much of an artist or a photographer, so I'm wondering what others who like to write but can't draw do.</p>

<p>Someone asked me if my zines are written in a character's voice, and I realized one of my characters would totally write zines, so I started writing a zine in her voice. Has anyone else done this?

What do other people (especially literary-minded zinesters) think of this?</p>

Hi everyone!<br />
I feel like I should introduce myself as I've been out of the zine community for quite awhile now. My name is Meredith and I first got into zines when I was 13 (I'm 22 now). I started running Supernova Zine Distro when I was around 14 and kept it open until about 2005. Around 2005 I put out two literary one shots, Deseur and Leningrad. I then went to art school and had the hopes of start a new distro mainly focused on art zines with a friend, but school took over my soul and it…
Hi everyone!<br />
I feel like I should introduce myself as I've been out of the zine community for quite awhile now. My name is Meredith and I first got into zines when I was 13 (I'm 22 now). I started running Supernova Zine Distro when I was around 14 and kept it open until about 2005. Around 2005 I put out two literary one shots, Deseur and Leningrad. I then went to art school and had the hopes of start a new distro mainly focused on art zines with a friend, but school took over my soul and it never happened.<br />
<br />
I'm finally graduating this week and through the encouragement of friends and a desire to keep my creativity going and support other artists, zinesters, crafters and musicians, I've decided to start a new distro.<br />
<br />
False Start is going to be a distro primarily focused on art, DIY/how-to and literary zines/comics, but I'll also be willing to check out and distro perzines and political zines if I feel they'd work well with the distro. I'm also interested in distroing music, crafts and art objects. Racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, etc. etc. crap need not apply.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in hearing more or sending me something for consideration, please email me at falsestartdistro@gmail.com, post here or message me here. Thanks so much!
